Final Design Packages and Change Control Sheets .............................................. 12 1 1.0 Executive Summary The FAA Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex project Design and Implementation Team designed a total of 65 new Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures. These procedures include Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs), Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs), and Required Navigation Procedures (RNPs) for the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE), and numerous smaller satellite airports. Dependent upon the completion of the Environmental Assessment (EA), these procedures, along with amendments to 10 existing Standard Instrument Approaches Procedures (SIAPs) are planned for publication on May 24, 2018. The following sections of this document describe in greater detail the impetus for this project and process used to design these procedures. Also included are the airports to be served by these procedures, the names of the procedures, the details about how these procedures were refined and who participated in their development. 2.0 The FAA Metroplex Program The FAA Metroplex Program, formerly Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Metroplex, was developed in direct response to the RTCA’s Task Force 5 Final Report on Mid- Term NextGen Implementation which addressed the quality, timeliness, and scope of metroplex solutions. The Metroplex Program is a systematic, integrated and expedited approach to implementing PBN procedures and associated airspace changes. 3.0 Overview of the Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex Study and Design Team Process The CLE/DTW Study Team was the tenth collaborative Metroplex team deployed, and it was active from January 28, 2014 to May 16, 2014. The Study Team Final Report from May 2014 served as the foundation for the Design Team’s scope of work. The CLE/DTW Design Phase was initiated on September 4, 2014 and has continued refinement of designs through October 2017. The Design Team focused on finalizing the Study Team’s conceptual designs to address identified operational and efficiency issues through the application of PBN procedures and associated airspace changes within the Metroplex, with the goal of creating designs that support both FAA and Industry needs. The Design Team consisted of participants from the FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), ATC subject matter experts (SMEs), Industry, representatives from the Central Service Center, other FAA lines of business such as PBN Policy and Support and Flight Procedures, MITRE CAASD, and various support contractors. The original 100% Designs Complete milestone was scheduled for October 2015, but was delayed because of the newly-developed Community Involvement activities and the requirements associated with new procedure design criteria. Feedback received during Community Involvement was considered and incorporated in the proposed designs, as appropriate. 2 4.0 Scope and Process The CLE/DTW Metroplex consists of airspace delegated to the Cleveland Airport Traffic Control Tower (CLE ATCT), Detroit TRACON (D21), and Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZOB). The CLE/DTW Design Team focused on aircraft operations at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), as well as numerous satellite airports including the Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL) in CLE ATCT airspace and the Oakland County International Airport (PTK) in D21 airspace. Due to conflicting traffic flows, the Team also considered operations at the Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK) and its two satellite airports. Although Toledo Express (TOL) and Wayne County Airport X (BJJ) airports were included in the official Study Area for the Environmental Assessment, the Design Team did not design procedures for those airports. Table 1 below lists the airports served by procedures proposed by this project: Table 1.

The Team consulted with surrounding facilities when the design called for the efficiencies affecting their operation or airspace. The proposed designs are captured in 15 Final Design Packages and associated Change Control Sheets in Attachment I. The proposed designs include 75 new PBN procedures for CLE, DTW, PTK, DET, BKL and CAK airports, and amendments to ten CLE SIAPs. These packages contain SIDs, STARs, and SIAPs. Tables 2 and 3 below lists the Final Design Packages completed for this project and the procedures developed for each airport, respectively. Table 2.

  • 5 PAI.150.Noise Abt
    DETROIT METROPOLITAN WAYNE COUNTY AIRPORT FAR PART 150 NOISE COMPATIBILITY STUDY UPDATE CHAPTERINVENTORY A Inventory Introduction Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is an integral component of the transportation infrastructure serving the Detroit Metropolitan area, southeast Michigan, and northwest Ohio. Because of its airfield and facility capabilities, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is also a vital part of the national system of airports. The Airport serves as not only the City of Detroit’s front door by providing visitors with an important first impression of the community, but also is the state's largest airport. The Airport provides transportation facilities that are an absolute necessity for some businesses, and a "required" convenience for others. Additionally, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport provides recreational and leisure traveler’s convenient access to air transportation with convenient non-stop and connecting service to many popular destinations. This Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 Noise Compatibility Planning Study is an update of a 1992 Study that was adopted by Wayne County and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1993. The Wayne County Airport Authority has implemented many of the recommendations contained in the previous FAR Part 150 Study. However, since completion of the previous study, there have been changes to the airfield, type of aircraft, and the number of aircraft operating at the airport. As such, many of these changes have likely resulted in changes to noise exposure and therefore the need for an update to the previous Study. The purpose of this airport facilities INVENTORY chapter of the Part 150 Study is to establish a baseline of information about existing airport facilities and operations, as well as local land use.

  • FAA Facts Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C
    FAA Facts Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C. 20591 _____________________________________________________________________ Cleveland-Detroit Metroplex The Federal Aviation Administration’s Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, is the ongoing transformation of air traffic control technologies and procedures in the United States. You might think of this transition as similar to moving from paper maps to GPS when you drive your car. In addition to improving navigation, NextGen brings other benefits: • NextGen enhances aviation safety, reduces carbon emissions and modernizes air traffic procedures to today’s standards. o A key NextGen goal is to safely improve the way aircraft navigate complex, metropolitan areas, which we call Metroplexes, to make flight routes and airports more efficient. • The FAA has identified multiple Metroplex areas in the United States. Each Metroplex includes one or more commercial airports that serve at least one major city: o A Metroplex allows the FAA to improve regional traffic movement by making the best use of airspace and procedures, using precise, satellite-based navigation. • Use of NextGen procedures in these areas could improve on-time performance, which would benefit the region and the entire national airspace system. Cleveland-Detroit The airspace surrounding Cleveland and Detroit has a large number of air traffic procedures which have not been changed for many years. • While these procedures are safe, most are inefficient due to advances in technology. This is one of the reasons why the airspace surrounding Cleveland Hopkins and Detroit Metro airports has been identified for Metroplex development. O V E R The proposed Metroplex would allow for more direct and efficient routing of aircraft into and out of Cleveland and Detroit, enhancing aviation safety, and reducing flight delays above these communities.
